New Sean Hannity Show, maryhind the scenes, 12 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. 13 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show 14 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, Day number two nineteen. Everything 15 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: is Putin's price hikes. Inflation is Putin's fall. People don't 16 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: believe that either. They know that we had inflation before this. 17 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: They know that gas prices were high before this, so 18 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: they haven't dialed this in quite right yet. You can't 19 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: blame everything in the economy, all right. Our two Sean 20 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: Hannity Show Toll Free it's eight hundred nine four one, Shawn. 21 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 22 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: we'll get two calls at the bottom of this half hour. 23 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: So the big lie is that putin price hike Putin 24 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: caused inflation. The only problem is gas prices were up, 25 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: way up under Joe Biden and parpagaus everything we've told you. 26 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: They stopped the the federal land auctions for oil companies, etc. Etc. 27 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: Then we have debunked at at nauseum than nine thousand 28 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: leases you already have available. Okay, Then the environmental extremist 29 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: regulations to put on the oil and gas companies. Then 30 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: of course closing an moir and even importing oil from Russia, 31 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: which is insane. At least they stopped that, but they're 32 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: sending emissaries to negotiate with Venezuela potentially to import oil 33 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: from Venezuela. We're told this Iranian deal they're working on 34 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: would allow the Iranians to sell US oil. That would 35 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: make Aatola's the number one state sponsor of TERA, really rich. Again, 36 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: that would be pretty stupid and but anyway, but the 37 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: blame game continues. Forty year high, months and months before 38 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin invaded Russia, same with gas prices dramatically higher. 39 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Now they're even going higher further. Okay, that last part. 40 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: You can give a little bit of credit to Vladimir Putin, 41 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: but also blame America for not being energy independent, which 42 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden inherited. Then we've got our neighbors to the north, 43 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Little Justin and Canada. They're begging to send us more oil. 44 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: So why are we begging OPEC, Venezuela and Iran? Doesn't 45 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: make sense anyway. Here is the administration just blaming anybody 46 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: and everybody for high gas prices except their own radical policies. 47 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm tol to bring gas prices down. I will do 48 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: what needs to be done to reduce the price you 49 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: paid the pump. Even if we drilled as much as 50 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: we could, the price of oil is still set globally. 51 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: This Keystone pipeline, it would take years for that to 52 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: have an impact on prices. There's an impediment production in 53 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: the United States. It's called the bankers on Wall Street. 54 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: Oil prices and gas prices are famously something that is 55 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: largely outside of the direct control of any political figure. 56 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: The price of oil is very much dependent upon the 57 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: global supply and that's manipulated for price by countries that 58 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: don't always have the same values that we have. Are 59 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: you just gonna start blaming pot for everything? Food price 60 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: hikes at the pump, Puden's price sike here at home? 61 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: All right, we get we get, we get the message here. 62 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: Austin Gouldsby, professor Chicago's Boot School of Economics, former chairman 63 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: of the Council of Economic Advisors for Obama and the 64 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: Obama administration. You know what's interesting, your pal Lawrence Summers 65 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: has probably been the most accurate in predicting that inflation 66 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: A was in transitory. That was another lie told by 67 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Biden and Saki and Kamala Harris and also is out 68 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: there and saying this is these interest rate hikes are 69 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: going to be very real and severe, and saying that 70 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: the likelihood of recession is very high. Do you agree 71 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: with Laurence Summers, your fell Democrat Obomba administration official. Well, 72 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: first of all, Sean, thanks for having me back. No, 73 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: don't don't start with the nice routine about you. They're 74 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: gonna wonder about you. I've some I kind of disagreed 75 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: with Larry Um before the inflation I thought it would 76 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: prove to be more temporary than it was. So I 77 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: think he's I think he is right, um, that the 78 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: rates are probably going to have to go up more 79 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: than than than what the FIT has has been anticipating. 80 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Do you acknowledge the simple truth that before Russia ever 81 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: came near invading Ukraine, that the price of a gallon 82 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: of gasoline on average had gone up close to a 83 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: little below a buck fifty a gallon already? You acknowledge 84 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: that truth? Correct? Who it was up? What are you 85 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: dating it too? Because no, no, no, I'm before Vladimir 86 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: putin truth, Hey, hang on, all right, right before, before 87 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: he started amassing troops, it was like a buck twenty 88 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: five more a gallon already. That's the fact. The price 89 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: of oil was at eighty five dollars of barrel at 90 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: the beginning of December. That was definitely up from all right, 91 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: But you're ducking, weaving and dodging the price of oil 92 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: before Plutin started amassing if that's your timeline, which I 93 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: disagree with, Oh, we'll use it anyway. But before he 94 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: started amassing troops and military equipment was up man on 95 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: average about a buck and a quarter of gallon nationwide 96 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: to the depth of the of COVID. Yeah, no, compared 97 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's last year in office, in other words, 98 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: the depths of COVID. Yes, okay, so you at least 99 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: you're acknowledging that. So whatever price increased. So now, now, 100 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: when there was a collapse of the economy under Donald 101 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: Trump and COVID, okay, nice, try that's not going to 102 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: fly on this program. Now. The premier when he canceled 103 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline and Jensaki saying we can't get 104 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: it up years, well, the Premiere of Alberta said, we're 105 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: about eight to ten months away from finishing it. And 106 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: if we finished it, the Canadians would would be able 107 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: to import into the US or export into the US 108 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: nine hundred thousand barrels of oil a day, and we 109 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: can get Canadian oil. Wouldn't that be better than begging 110 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Venezuela and Iran and Opec to increase production or importing 111 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: oil from enemy countries? Two different things. I was. I 112 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: thought the Venezuela thing was weird. The Keystone pipeline wasn't. 113 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,239 Speaker 1: Bill By the way, what do you mean it's weird? 114 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: Back the price of oh, close backs. Let's go back 115 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: one second. Mduro, you admit as a murdering thug. Right, 116 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: he's a bad he's a bad d. The Iranians and 117 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: a mula and the Iranian Mullas and Iran they're the 118 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: number one state sponsored tour, right you yeah. Look, I'm yes, yes, man, Yeah, 119 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: I think I mean, I'm not. I don't have their 120 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: bank accounts. If they're the largest. They were a bad regime. 121 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: The Iran deal was a good deal to get them 122 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: to stop their Now that was the worst deal in 123 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: the history of mankind. Is throwing out the deal has 124 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: proved to be really problematic on nuclear ngial So wait 125 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: a minute. You think a deal that resulted in billions 126 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: of dollars dropped on the tarmac to the Mullahs of Iran, 127 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: the number one state sponsor of terror, where we, the 128 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: United States, did not We did not get as part 129 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: of that deal any place anytime. Inspections a deal that 130 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: would expire anyway in twenty twenty five, which for them, 131 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: would allow the Iranians to pursue nuclear weapons once again. 132 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: They began pursuing the nuclear weapons, the centrifuges, etc. As 133 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: soon as the deal was ended and now no, that 134 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: would be People who had questions about the deal originally 135 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: have viewed that abolishing the deal uniladder really has proved 136 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: to be a major mistake. So, according to reports, this 137 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: new deal would allow the Russians to build a nuclear 138 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: facility about ten billion dollars worth in Iran. It would 139 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: it would free up sanction money to the tune of 140 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: tens of billions of dollars, and the United States would 141 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: then help Iran and the mulas of Iran get really 142 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: wealthy and rich because we'd import their oil. You think 143 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: that's a good deal for US? I don't know. They 144 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: don't have a deal, and it doesn't look like there's 145 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: going to be one because, as you know, the Russians 146 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: are trying to carve out a way to go around 147 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: the sanctions. If there were to be a deal, now, 148 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: do you think that Joe Biden is would be in it? 149 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Biden is making a mistake what 150 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: you say, allowing Putin to be the broker in this deal? 151 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: Putin to be the house Putin the broker Russia is 152 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll give you the answer, Russia is brokering this new 153 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: Iranian deal. It doesn't make you a broker if you're 154 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: blocking the deal, that's that's no, not broker, No, no, no. 155 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: They're at the negotiating table trying to get the deal. 156 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: They were part of the original deal, so and that's 157 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: okay with you. They were in the deal. They're not 158 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: a broker. How would you have a deal that they 159 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the Iranians won't speak to us directly? So Russia and 160 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: China are and Europe we have a Well, let me 161 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: ask you this question. Party that were part of the deal. 162 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: As I say, I don't know that they're actually gonna 163 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: have any deal because it seems like Vladimir Putin is 164 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: just trust. It seems like Joe wants one badly. Don't 165 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: you think it's a dumb idea to keep begging OPEC, 166 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: who keeps rejecting the US to increase the oil production. 167 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: Isn't it a bad idea to talk to Venezuela? Isn't 168 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: it a bad idea to negotiate any deal that would 169 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: allow the US to import oil from from Iran? Isn't 170 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: dumb economically and for for national security reason. He did 171 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: exactly what Donald Trump did, which he didn't press yes, 172 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: which is pressure OPEC to supply more oil, and they 173 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: did it. They before Ladi were putin, began amassing troops. 174 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: The price of oil was coming down, had fallen about 175 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: twenty five percent because OPEC had begun ramping up their production, 176 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: and that Donald Trump, we were paying nearly just a 177 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: little over two dollars a gallon for gasoline. And Donald 178 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: Trump also took office and made America for the first 179 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: time in seventy five years a net energy independent and 180 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy. I w didn't look that 181 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: up because you told me that the last time, and 182 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: we were still importing one third of the oil we use. 183 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: You keep saying we were no, no, no, but you 184 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: got But when you when you put us, is that 185 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: we opened up export and so we export more than 186 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: we because we have better refining facilities hang on the net. 187 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: When you become a net exporter of energy, that means 188 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: that you are producing more than you need import and 189 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: for refining purposes. Very different, and that we with a 190 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: net exporter between natural gas, oil, and coal, we didn't 191 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: need anything from anybody in the world. And the last 192 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: month or a few months of the Trump presidency, we 193 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: didn't import, for example, one barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia, 194 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: not one. We imported one third of the oil we use. 195 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: Do you not acknowledge that I acknowledge that we imported 196 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: oil but for refinery purposes because a lot of these 197 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: countries don't have the ability to refine it. We're using oil. 198 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Sixty some percent of our imports come from right. But 199 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: hang on, what part of us being a net exporter 200 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: of energy did you not understand? Because that was the reality. 201 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 1: We understood it. I'm afraid you didn't understand what the 202 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,599 Speaker 1: difference between a net exporterer, Okay, exporter. So it was 203 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump that opened the Keystone XL pipeline and then 204 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: the North Dakota Pipeline. It was Donald Trump that opened 205 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,599 Speaker 1: up an noir, Donald Trump that reduced, you know, these 206 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: burdensome regulations on the energy sector. It was Donald Trump 207 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: that was basically said, the oil and energy companies brack 208 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: baby frack, and drill baby drill, and we produced more 209 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: energy than we are under Joe Biden. To question, why 210 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: do you think if you just look at domestic US 211 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: oil production barrels per day, why is the average barrels 212 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: per day produced in the United States higher under Joe 213 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: Biden that's not true. No, you're it. No, No, this 214 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: is what you're saying. This is their talking point. Donald 215 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden produced more oil and his first year in office, 216 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: then Donald Trump didn't his first year of office. That's true, 217 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: but it's for you. But that's that's called a sleight 218 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: of hand because then Donald Trump opened up energy production 219 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: in this country and as a result, by the time 220 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: he ended his presidency after four years, he we were 221 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy and we were energy independent, 222 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: meaning we had enough of our own supply to take 223 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: care of our own needs first. But we did it. 224 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: We imported one third of the oil that we used 225 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: the keys. Don't you're missing the you're missing the refinery 226 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: question an oil? Why do other countries come? Why do 227 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: other countries send oil to US besides us importing it? 228 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Don't they send it here to get refined. They send 229 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: it here to be refined. So we thank you for gasoline? No, so, 230 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: and then we and then we thought, and then we 231 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: exported out. That's the point. Is your view that the 232 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: US is simply a turnstyle that we do don't actually 233 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: use the oil that we import. No, I'm saying that 234 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: America has enough energy resources oil to last over well 235 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: over one hundred years to meet all of our needs 236 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: in them. Some we are the Middle East of natural gas. 237 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: We have more natural gas than pretty much the Look 238 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: if I told you that this year oil production in 239 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: the US under Joe Biden is going to the second 240 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: highest in the history of the United States, would that 241 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: make you happy? It would make me happy. I would 242 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: let you know what I'd make you know what would 243 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: be you know? You know what would make me even 244 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: happier if Joe would will pull back on all of 245 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: the burdens and regulations he's put on the energy companies 246 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: and they can't do their job to the best of 247 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: their ability, and we should be again energy independent and 248 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: a net exporter of energy. But I gotta run anyway 249 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: now you are you still? What? Do we have any 250 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: bet going here? I want to bet you owe me 251 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: money from the previous I don't know you a penny. Yes, 252 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: I took you and your wife out to dinner, and 253 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: you had the best meal you ever had in your life. 254 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: With the good meal. I'm not disputing that. But you 255 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: bet me ten grand that Obamacare would cost one hundred 256 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: million people their insurance. They don't have one hundred million 257 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: people in their insure, but we lost millions, and millions 258 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: lost their doctors, millions lost their plans. And by the way, 259 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: the average person is paying about two hundred and fifty 260 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: percent more and then not saving the twenty five hundred 261 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: dollars a year has promised the bear. I should have 262 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: stopped that, Thank you, should have goodbye, see you later, 263 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 1: Bold inspired solutions for America. This is the Sean Hannity 264 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: Show twenty five nowntil the top of the hour, eight 265 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one Sean. If you want to 266 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: join us, so Lenda, I'm I've been very, very consistently 267 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: clear on my position as it relates to Ukraine. Right, 268 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: there's no ambiguity here. I said over and over again, 269 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: not one single American Buddha on the ground. Correct, correct, 270 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: And I've said over and over and over again, if 271 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians want to fight after they've been invaded, they're 272 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: a sovereign country. And we see, let's see, oh mass graves, 273 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: indiscriminate bombing of women and children. We saw the disaster 274 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: unfold of you know, Russian troops firing at at innocent 275 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: men and women and children. This weekend. Just I mean 276 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: there's firing away at all of them. We see neighborhood's level, 277 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: department complexes leveled, we see all the atrocities you expected 278 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: more and that of the Ukrainians show as they have 279 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: been showing a willingness to fight for their own country. 280 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: My position is not a single American boot on the ground, 281 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: and that we can sell them all the weapons they want. 282 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they can't pay for them now, but we'll figure 283 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: out a payment plan down the road. Hopefully if they 284 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: can push the Russians out of their country. I'm not 285 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: sure if they can, but we'll see what happens over time. 286 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: And me, you've been saying this at nauseam, Sean, I mean, 287 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,479 Speaker 1: you know I was saying this to the team earlier. 288 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean I was out of my mind 289 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: when you were talking about monoclonels. But then you know, 290 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: people didn't remember what you said. And I kind of 291 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: feel the same way now about you know, pinpoint accuracy 292 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: precision from a place in Florida with the zone. Don't 293 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: we have the technology? I mean, and people are like, 294 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, this again. But then you see the 295 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: left wing media, it's like Sean Hannity says, to put 296 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: boots on the ground. I'm like, the man has never 297 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: said that. In fact, he has said the exact. In fact, 298 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: I can think of an interview where you would just 299 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: talk with Dan Hoffman, and you and Dan Hoffman had 300 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: this conversation and you were like, I don't want our 301 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: young men and women on the ground in the middle 302 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: of this crisis. We just's you couldn't be more clear. 303 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: What do I say? Historically? Well, people ask me, well, 304 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: what is your political philosophy, Hannity, Well, I like the 305 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Reagan doctrine because Ronald Reagan never put a boot on 306 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: the ground when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in the eighties, 307 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: but he did provide them with the means to defeat 308 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: the Soviets and in that war and ended up being 309 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: Stinger missiles. I supported Reagan helping the freedom fighting contras 310 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: in Nicaragua battle back against the communist Sandinistas and Daniel 311 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: Ortega not a single American boot on the ground. I 312 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: support the Trump doctrine, which is bomb the living daylights 313 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: out of the caliphate that grew under Obama and Biden. 314 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: There might have been a couple of Intel boots on 315 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: the ground just to make sure that the accuracy was perfect, 316 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: but no boots on the ground for the most part. 317 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: And he did the same thing with Solomani, the same 318 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: thing with Baghdaddy and associate. It's the same thing with 319 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: the al Qaeda leader in Yemen. And I agree with 320 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: American first principles, make America great again, principles, Save America, principles, 321 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, And no matter how many times I say it, 322 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, people just just distort it on purpose. But Sean, 323 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: remember when you were talking about Afghanistan, and you know, 324 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: we're looking at over two hundred days now of SIV 325 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: holders and American citizens left behind enemy lines. Nobody is 326 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: there to help them, Nobody is there to rescue them. 327 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: The situation there is beyond ire and nobody's saying in 328 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: where nobody's talking about it. But we're sending thirteen billion 329 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: dollars in aid, only one billion of which is going 330 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: to military aid to Ukraine. You can't get any dumber. 331 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: So the New York Times and others is suggesting and 332 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: what was the Rolling Stone magazine and saying Hannity was 333 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: quoting Putin's spokesperson who said that Joe is cognitively weak. 334 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, I say it every day of the week. 335 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: And point point I've said it before the election, and 336 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: not only that, I can play example after example that 337 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: corroborates what I'm saying is true. My point was, our 338 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: enemies see it. There's a reason. Now, why was Crimea 339 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: annexed under Biden Obama? And why did the Caliphate grow 340 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: under Biden Obama but not under Trump? Why is it 341 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: now that Ukraine has invaded again under Biden? There are 342 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: reasons for it, and the main reason is they perceived 343 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: Joe is weak. That might be their talking point, but 344 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: if they got it, they stole it from me because 345 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: I've been making the case that having a weak American 346 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: president is not good for this country and it's not 347 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: good for the world. I wrote a book about it, 348 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: Live Free or Die America and the World on the Brink. 349 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: Now it's the on the brink part economic lee and 350 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: on national security issues. So you know, I find it amazing. Well, 351 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: Hannity said that they recognize. When Hannity recognizes that was 352 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: my point. They already they know the reason they're doing 353 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: this is because they see the weakness. And the other 354 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: thing is, but also the other point you've been making 355 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: that nobody else is making even now as the evidence 356 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: is becoming more and more mainstream, is the fact that 357 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: the Biden family is compromised by the many connections that 358 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: they have to Ukraine. I'm sure well that when Hunter 359 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: Biden's name showed up on Putin's list, it wasn't an accident. 360 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: When Hillary Clinton's name showed up on there, it was 361 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: not an accident. That was their propaganda, their lives. And 362 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: you know, how many more times can I say, for me, 363 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: it's a matter of conscience. We can't be the world's policeman. 364 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: We just can't. We have the capacity to, but we can't, 365 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: And well, actually don't have the capacity, And nor am 366 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: I willing to risk any more of our national treasure 367 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: because these idiot politicians, they're all gung home, they're all united, 368 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: they're all let's we're going a war. Then they never 369 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: fight those wars like Trump did against Isis to win 370 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: the war, and then they politicize the war, and then 371 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: after so many people died and have these catastrophic injuries, 372 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: they say never mind. And well, how many times have 373 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: I've been saying never again? Can we ever go down 374 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: that road again? So but you know, I like the 375 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Reagan doctrine and the Trump doctrine as it relates to 376 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: these conflicts. You don't have long protracted wars, you don't 377 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: put an American boot on the ground if if, but 378 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: you do support there's got to be some level of 379 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: what kind of country do we want to be? Look, 380 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: America has always had a strain of or a group 381 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: of people the word is and they hate when you 382 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: call them this isolationists, and they want to just put 383 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 1: blinders on and say that's not our problem. I'm not 384 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: one of those people. My Christian faith, to be very 385 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: honest is what guides me here. And I can't look 386 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: at mass graves and innocent men, women and children and 387 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: say we're not going to lift a finger. If there's 388 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: an excellent point, it's not about Putin or Zelenski, it's 389 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: about me. It's about the civilians, right, because they're just 390 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: literally victims in the middle of a hot mess. And 391 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: I know you've been talking about the Reagan cuts that 392 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: we were playing earlier today, and it reminds me of 393 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: when Obama made fun of Romney and he was like, 394 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: you know, the nineteen eighties are calling. You know, they 395 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: want they want their policies back. You know, the Russian 396 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: policies back and who are you to talk about your 397 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: you know this, it's so stupid and nobody cares about Russia. 398 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: And here we are again, and it's like, this is 399 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: what happens when you don't study history and you don't 400 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: remember what happened, you're doomed to repeat it. And in 401 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: this case, they keep talking about Ukraine being a sovereign nation, 402 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: but they don't care about the United States as sovereign borders. 403 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the hypocrisy is that day, oh god, this 404 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: they're simple. And by the way, there's many people out 405 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: there that don't want to support our allies. Israel a 406 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: geo political you know, the only democracy in the region 407 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: in the Middle East that is beyond shortsighted to me, 408 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: because whether you want to believe it or not, alliances matter, 409 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: and that if Putent tests NATO's alliance, it's going to 410 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: be interesting to see if it's it's got any teeth 411 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: in it or it's a paper tiger. And one final 412 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: point before you go to your calls, because I know 413 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: you want to get the callers, you make a very 414 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: interesting point about Israel because Israel already had the approval 415 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: for the East Medline, which would have given the European 416 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: Union access to another energy source and completely gotten rid 417 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: of that. And instead we're going to OPEC in Iran 418 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: and Saudi Arabia. Why Israel is willing to work with you? Why? 419 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: I think Benjamin nut yahoo with Levin last night was 420 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: as clear he had moral clarity and he just laid 421 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: it all out. We haven't he said to you, remember 422 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: your interview with him? Which one is coming to a 423 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: theater near you. And I know many of the things 424 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: I've been saying over the years, people have said, well, 425 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, he's just saying it. I don't think about it. 426 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: This is what I This is a danger I've been 427 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: pointing to. It's not a spin, it's not a wig. 428 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: It is a clinical diagnosis of a pathological movement that 429 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: is sweeping our area but will soon come to a 430 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: theater near you. It has to be stopped now, the 431 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: ones who are standing right now in front of this. 432 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: So now that's support Israel, support yourself. That he was right, 433 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: and he's always been right, and I can't wait for 434 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: him to be Prime minister again. All right, let's get 435 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: through some calls here. Let's say hi to Charles in California, Charles, 436 00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: What the hell are you doing out there? Are you? 437 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: How do your mind get out of there? Somebody's got 438 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: to stay in fight. Sean, Yeah, but I'm telling you 439 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna win for a long time. If ever, 440 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: it's not going to give up. Good for you. What's 441 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: on your mind today? I just wanted to bring up 442 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: a topic that I really haven't heard too much about. 443 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: If Ukraine had something similar to our Second Amendment, do 444 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: you think that that would affected the earlier days or 445 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: as a detourrent? I think the people were pretty well 446 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: alarmed and very quickly armed, so a deterrent, you know, 447 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: when you have hypersonic missiles and you have the tanks 448 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: that Vladimir Putin has, and you out man an outgun 449 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: like Russia does Ukraine's, it's it would have been helpful perhaps, 450 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: But the insurgency, though, you definitely can use to defend 451 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: yourself the AK forty seven or whatever weapon you have, 452 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: automatic weapon, but you really need the javelins, a stinger, 453 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: You really need the MiGs and the jets. That's what's 454 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: going to win the war, and the drones. So correct, 455 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: that's where we'll win it. But do you think that 456 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: it may have slowed the Russians down. Possibly well, they've 457 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: obviously been slowed down on a lot of fronts. I mean, 458 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: to my surprise, I did not expect Putin's army to 459 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: be this bad. I thought they would have been better. 460 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: To my surprise, the resolve of the Ukrainian people to 461 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: fight back has been in pretty inspiring actually, and as 462 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: now that they've shown a willingness to fight, the Western 463 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: world should provide them the means to fight. And by 464 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not forgiving anybody anything for free. We 465 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: can't afford it. So over time they're gonna have to 466 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: find ways to pass back. But in the interim we're 467 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 1: not going to deny them the weaponry that they need 468 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: to fight the war, because by then it would be 469 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: over anyway. By the way, out in California, they have 470 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: a four hundred dollars gas rebase that'll take California to 471 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: universal basic income probably faster than anything else. Quick break 472 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: right back to the phones, eight hundred and nine for 473 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: one sean our number if you want to be a 474 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: part of the program. At the top of the next hour, 475 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: Cash Patel, who was the former Pentagon Chief of Staff, 476 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: is asking a lot of tough questions about Joe Biden's 477 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: involvement with China, Ukraine, Russia, questions we've been asking that 478 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten answers to. He'll join us as well. 479 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: Right back for busy phones, Let's say, how to Steve 480 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: Is in New York.

Um, I'm calling because I'm a farmer in 484 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: upstate New York and our lovely New York state government 485 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: is trying to push a labor bill and it's gonna 486 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: devastate our farmers. What is I'm not familiar with the bill? 487 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: Tell me about it. So what's gonna do? Like two 488 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: years ago, they they kind of they made us go 489 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: to sixty hour work weeks for our laborum and as 490 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, farming, you can't really you know, when it 491 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: comes to Harvard season, you can't. Mother nature dictates a 492 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: lot of what you can do. And now they're trying 493 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: to force us into a forty hour work week. Yeah, 494 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: it's not gonna really work well for us. That's not 495 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna work well for anybody, you know, you only have 496 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: a limited time when you can get get your crops 497 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: before they begin to deteriorate, and you can't, then then 498 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: it becomes a waste. So you know, those are periods 499 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: where you usually work longer hour. Look the farmers that 500 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: I knew and heard of and interviewed over the course 501 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: of my life, I can tell you they're up before 502 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: the sunrises and they're not done until the sun sets. 503 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: So it's not a ninth to five job. And you know, 504 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: in the case of many farmers, it's it's every single day, 505 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: including Saturday and Sunday. You don't get a day off, right, 506 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: And it's going to take an already inflated economy and 507 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,479 Speaker 1: inflate it more. You know, our food prices are going 508 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: to have to go off to try to compassate for this. Yep, 509 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: expect it. I mean they're they're not lifting a finger 510 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: to help lower food prices or gas prices. You're right, Thanks, Steve, 511 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: Joe and laj what's up, Big Joe? How are you 512 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: love your show? Listen? David Purdue, is Donald Trump is 513 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: coming to a seat to Georgia this week? To KEMP Saturday? Yeah? Great, 514 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: David Purdue, and I think this will put David Purdue 515 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: over the top against Brian Kemp, and then I predict 516 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: David will go on to be the socialist Stacy Abrams. 517 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: So I'm fine enough for David Purdue. I'm supporting David 518 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: and herscheldown in Georgia. Um, the polls have Kemp with 519 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: a slight lead. But what's interesting about the polls and 520 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: Georgie's almost half of Republican primary voters don't know the 521 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: Trump's supporting Purdue that I found that both Trafalgar insider 522 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: advantage and number of polls have shown the same thing. 523 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, how do they not know that? But you know, 524 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: sometimes it takes it takes maybe a rally like this 525 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: one Saturday to change momentum. But anyway, Big Joe, we 526 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: love you man. What's that You're the best. Appreciate you 527 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: being one of us.
